Terrible visiting experience. We paid all inclusive for a high price, flew for 12 hours. We checked into the room, but it turned out to be small, slippers and bathrobes are not provided, drinking coffee near the sea is not included in this all inclusive, you can not visit restaurants either. You can only go to the Mercato communal dining room. Okay, we paid extra before staying at El Beso (the building of the same hotel, adults only). The room is bigger, you can visit restaurants by the sea, but slippers and bathrobes are still not provided, toothbrushes are not given, they want extra charges))) By the sea, during all meals, the waiters literally extort tips for poured coffee (it tastes like a decoction of socks). No matter how much you pay for the tour here.Of course, you always have to stay local, and their service is unobtrusive and unhurried. The ocean storms all the time, the hotel's beach is dirty, it smells bad.
Never set foot in the Dominican Republic again.
A family of 4 people vacationed at the Ocean El Faro Hotel from December 16 to 26. We liked everything: animators, bartenders, staff, pools, rooms, territory (it's really huge) everything is clean and tidy. Especially, I would like to note this food and bars, I have not seen such a variety and abundance for a long time (in short: there are a lot of different meats, there are also a lot of seafood, but they do not know how to cook them, apparently because Dominicans eat meat again, and plus a lot of fast food, as there are a lot of tourists from the USA) in any any cocktail will be prepared from the bars and any drink will be poured (whiskey, rum, tequila, vodka, wine, liqueurs, champagne, etc. all products of world manufacturers) Turkey with its three types of locally bottled drinks is resting))), but only one type of beer, you will have to pay separately for a budweiser in glass. I can't understand the dudes who write that the food is not in the bush, how it can not be delicious there, you just can't taste it all in 11 days. But there are also disadvantages in this hotel, in our opinion there are two of them: the beach is so-so, but we don't care so much-as a beach holiday, we are not interested in it.
And the second but very significant disadvantage is that we have never played bingo(((
In general, the rest was a great success.
Wonderful hotel, clean, beautiful. Varied meals, good housekeeping, animation, billiards, bowling. Erick finishing thanks, we spent a lot of time in the bowling alley in the evening, a pleasant, positive atmosphere. Clean beach, swimming pools, Children's water park. I recommend it for both active and family holidays.
For the first time in this country. The hotel was chosen based on the photo. A picturesque large area, many swimming pools, a children's water park, a large number of bars. The beach is not very good, there are algae, they clean them of course, but they still wash up on the shore during the day. But a good beach can be reached by taxi in 15 minutes and you are in Macau.There are very few people, almost no Russians. This is a plus, there are no queues at the bar, in the restaurant, etc.the food is very good, there are seafood, meat, poultry, various fruits from kiwi, bananas to mango passion fruit, dragon fruit, etc. There are alyakart restaurants, there are about 6 of them here, 2-3 open every evening to choose from, there is always a choice of cuisine for dinner. There is a day and night snack bar on site. Neither adults nor children will remain hungry.the only thing that bothers is the merchants, who are very actively inviting every tourist to buy something. The animation is funny, everyone is friendly to Russians, laughing, joking, dancing, very friendly and cheerful atmosphere. There is something to do - sports games, yoga, volleyball, swimming, etc. in general, we are happy with the rest, we would like to come again.
An excellent hotel! The best design of the rooms and the entire hotel! The food is great! The staff is polite and friendly. There is a good animation. Several pools. Lots of bars. The animation is quite interesting. Suitable for youth and family holidays! I highly recommend you to visit!!! 👍👍👍
I'm currently resting at the hotel. The rooms are clean and large! Food is more or less ! The territory is large!! There is a big minus, this is the sea!! It'S DIRTY AND IT STINKS!! There is a MACAU beach nearby by taxi for $ 25 one way, it takes 10 minutes to drive!!
We are currently staying at this hotel
We checked into the hotel, the room is large and clean, cleaning every day, polite staff
The territory is huge, 2 large pools, they are divided into 5 pools, 1 children's pool
The hotel is very beautiful, everything is well maintained and clean
But there is a big but-IT's THE BEACH AND THE FOOD
I'll start with the beach
There are beautiful sun beds in the shade and in the sun, but since this is the ocean, it is impossible to swim in large waves in this hotel
They are always here, waiting for the beautiful blue lagoon as in the photo on the Internet, unfortunately, this is not about this hotel
Plus rocks in the water that are not visible and can be knocked down
In general, for such a price as for this hotel, you can find another hotel on the beach of Macau or another
About algae, they are removed, but there is a smell
We went to the beach only 2 times, very upset
Going to another beach is a whole quest here, taxis are expensive and to get to the beach in most cases you need to go through hotels, but no one will miss
Along the coast, go to a good beach on foot from 14km
About food
Those who write that it is very tasty here! It is not true
Here you can eat both in the restaurant and on the buffet
We haven't gone to the restaurant yet, I can't say anything, some by appointment, some work every other day
There is a lot of food, yes, but it is impossible to eat it simply
Raw potatoes and stinky fish
Today there was soup, pieces of meat, potatoes and corn floated in huge chunks
We are not picky about food, but the meat is normal, only chicken and knuckle
Seafood is here and mussels and a shell where pearls are, but everything stinks and it is impossible to take in your mouth. The shrimp is raw.
Vegetables can be delicious when the season is over
Lots of desserts, cakes, but for an amateur
Fruits if there are always different seasonal fruits are delicious
A lot of different bread
The ice cream is delicious
November 2021 - 5⭐️...!!! February 2022 - 🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖 plus...!!! All restaurants and bars have opened...! Cleared the lagoon from the left..! In November, a large earthmoving equipment was working, In February two teams of animators worked..!!!
Great, amazing, fabulous!!! Will we come back again - definitely YES! Will we miss you - of course we will! How was our family vacation at the hotel - at the highest level!!!
I'll start by checking in:
The drive from the airport to the hotel is about 1 hour. Taking into account the fact that the transfer was organized to other hotels.
When we arrived at the hotel, they were already waiting for us with filled-in check-in cards. All that remains is to hand over the passports and sign them.
Territory:
It's huge! 😍
Amazing territory, pools with bars everywhere! Sun beds with umbrellas, towels are provided all the time.
Rooms:
Very modern, spacious and stylish!
The bed! How soft she is. There are 4 pillows for 2 people. Two soft ones and two harder ones.
Separate shower, separate toilet. The main bathroom has a Jacuzzi and two sinks. Balcony with hanging rockers.
Food:
It's just a separate item!
Everything is amazing there!
There are about 8 ala card restaurants. Without recording! You come and eat. Cuisines: Italy, Mexican, America, Italy, Japan, etc.
The main restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner is always full of abundance. There is everything to your taste. Fruits! Mango ate every meal.
Ice cream, desserts, fresh omelets, pizza, rolls, mussels and so on
Pocket animators.
They are very amazing and cheerful guys. It's fun all the time
Music, aerobics, beach volleyball, various games in and around the pool.
I advise everyone to visit this place. This is one of the best new hotels in the Dominican Republic with amazing grounds and food!
The hotel is good. Among the disadvantages: the Atlantic coast, the waves are high, it is almost impossible to swim. The lagoon nearby saves you. There is also nowhere to leave the hotel, there is nothing nearby, only a gas station. You have to take a taxi to get civilization, but it's expensive, 40-50 bucks one way.
Great hotel! New, a bunch of pools, a bunch of bars, a bunch of Ala-kart restaurants, a clean beach! There is a bay with a calm wave nearby! There is entertainment for both children and adults!
